“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind.”
~ Bernard M. Baruch
It's funny the things we are proud of.
Our 17 year old daughter told me a story yesterday about a dining hall experience at prep school, and boy was I proud.
Two of her classmates were staring at her at breakfast. Madison said, "What?"
They said (insert valley girl intonation here),"You just eat a really big breakfast."
My daughter explained to me,"Mom I wasn't even eating my normal big breakfast. I was just grabbing a bite of cereal quickly before class."
"What did you say to them?" I asked.
"I said, 'Heck yeah. This is nothing. I usually eat a bagel and cream cheese and eggs or something like that also."
"What did the girls say?" I asked.
"They didn't say anything." She explained "They just stared at me with their mouths slightly open."
"Maybe they wanted you to pop some Lucky Charms into their mouths." I laughed.
I told her I was proud of her for eating what she wants and not listening to the peanut gallery.
It's funny what we are proud of.
